Far too many cyclists have zero regard for their safety, or for the safety of others around them. I've witnessed this over and over again where I live.
Anyone with decency and courtesy will slow down when coming from behind a person who probably can't hear them coming. Even a young person may not hear a cyclist!
The cyclist should be charged for what he caused!

Interesting to hear our .22 ammo hoarding friend quoting the Golden Rule, guess he doesn't feel it applies to buying ammo he doesn't need. And then bragging about it as though it is something other than selfish greed, that he feels worthy of adulation.

According to news reports the 62 YO bicyclist was not charged by the cops.
I did note in the story the 62 YO bicyclist claimed he rang is bell in addition to verbal warnings.
Given the bell ringing thing I've decided I need to give a warning when passing bicyclists on the road when driving my Expedition.
I'm intending to install Dual Locomotive horns on the Expedition. One forward facing, one facing to the right shoulder of road.
The Locomotive horns will have individual 40 CF air tanks and a 20 CFM @ 120 psi air compressor to keep the tanks topped off.
The goal is to allert the bicyclist(s) I'm approaching with a long blast with the forward facing Locomotive Horn, then add a long blast with the right facing Locomotive Horn as I pass.
These Locomotive Horns should add a measure of safety as well as a courtesy for the bicyclists.
E-Bikes have only made the situation worse. People who could never have achieved 25 mph on a bike (think LBP style) now fly up and down the multiuse trails with reckless abandon.
Got any pics of the riders??
This is before she switched to an E bike.
Whoa Pard, I know my limitations!! 😬
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Golden Rule applies to cycling and not to ammo buying ? Interesting concept, a selfish clod is a selfish bragadocious clod except when he's on his bicycle. Grandpa goes down to the gunshop to buy some .22 ammo so he can take his grandkids shooting only to find that Mr. P (Golden Rule) B has been there and bought all of the .22 ammo and is now home sitting at his computer looking for accolades from his internet buddies for his good deed.
We walk our dogs on a local multi-use trial for hikers/bikes/horses and the bikers come out of nowhere and make little effort to slow, mostly if we are really alert we have just enough time to pull our dogs aside and make way for the spandex bunch who have the attitude that they have the right of way, they don't! Before Paul tells me how biased I am, I've bought five bikes from local shops over the last decade but have mostly given up riding due to the azzwipes that fancy it in my city and they dangers of riding on the road. As far as I know, they rules for biking on multi-use trails suggest that they must ride under control and yield to horses and walkers.
carry a walking stick and ram it into there spokes, they will slow down, ask me how i know
And of course we hold that value set wrt motorists who mow down cyclists, right?

This thread is about a selfish 62 YO bicyclist that killed a 81 YO woman pedestrian.
Retard alert. Another retard has chimed in.
Show me proof of the broad assertion that the OP wanted to limit the discussion to that. It's certainly not in the OP nor is it a norm in internet discussions to keep the conversation very narrowly focused. Given that you have flighty values, I can certainly see why my comment made you uncomfortable.
Photo below that you posted of yourself is a retard on full display. Paul digging in the nose.
Is that really you....so many wrinkles!

If you think that's a lot of wrinkles, you should see my penis when it's not happy. Lemme go find that pic for you. BRB.
OldmanoftheSea: If this incident really happened as "reported" then the cyclist has a "world of hurt" ahead for hisself! The least of his worries will be a citation for negligent operation and what will really hurt will be the lawyer bills and the coming civil suit for wrongful death etc etc etc. Shame this happened - because it should NOT have happened.

It happened 12 years ago. I believe, based on what I know of the circumstances, that the rider exposed himself to substantial civil liability.
